Installation and setup

The riser card installs directly into the existing riser slot without requiring additional cables or modifications. This straightforward setup helps maintain optimal airflow within the chassis and keeps service access simple, which is crucial in dense rack environments where space and cooling are limited.

Ideal uses and environments

This riser card kit is well suited to IT administrators managing rack-mount servers who need to increase storage capacity for virtual machines, databases, or content delivery. It also fits compact workstations used by creators and engineers who benefit from fast local NVMe storage for large project files, avoiding reliance on external storage arrays.

We act solely as a reseller. Any product warranty is provided and administered by the manufacturer, not by our store. That means eligibility, coverage, and outcomes are determined by the manufacturer’s policy for each brand and model. Before purchasing, we recommend reviewing the warranty terms on the manufacturer’s website or in the product documentation to confirm what is covered and for how long.

If you need warranty service, please file the claim directly with the manufacturer. They may require proof of purchase, the product serial number, original packaging, photos, or basic troubleshooting. Some brands ask you to register the product or obtain a case number before shipping it for repair or replacement. We don’t submit or approve claims, but we can point you to the correct support links and contact details.

Keep your invoice and packaging in a safe place, and report any functional issues to the manufacturer as soon as they appear. If you’re unsure whether a problem is covered, the manufacturer’s support team can confirm next steps and timelines. While we cannot intervene in decisions or outcomes, we’re happy to provide purchase documentation or guidance so you can move through the warranty process smoothly.
